In tbe town lived a crotchety old wid
ow whose sole aim in life was to be .cap
tured by a husband. She was not at'ili re
ticent In making known this consuming
desire of her heart, and every man, wo
man and child in the community looked
upon.her at a maniac. Her thoughts by
day and her dreams by night atways had
a man in them. Every night before re
tiring she would look under her bed to
see if there was a man there, and a look
of disappointment would come over her
face when none was found. Tn her one
of the plotters went and told her that a
young friend of his would be there Tues
day morning, and that he desired to make
her his wife.
“I met him in Evansville the other
day,” said he, “and he told mo that he
was on the lookout for a middle aged
wife, and when I told him about you,
described you looks, disposition, etc., he
said you was jnst the woman he wanted
and that.h* would come down Tuesday
and make all arrangements for the wed
ding. He is a business man, and will
talk plain business talk to you right
from the start. It’s tlie chance of a life
time, Mrs. Magoon, and yon can easily
capture him.”
The old woman smiled until the glad
sunlight illuminated her larynx and
gleamed against her back teeth In a gol
den haze. Her old heart made a few in
effectual efforts to flutter as it did in her
girlhood days, and she told her wicked
deceiver that tlie bridegroom would find
her lamp trimmed and burning when he
arrived.
As scon as the plotter left, the "old
lady made the round of tlie stores and
spent a small fortune for flue
laces, ri

tu® Red Uau’a Qtata.
Thirty years ago tbe region around
Tallulah Falls was still inhabited by
Indians, and although they lived a
partly civilized life, tending. little
patches of their own and hiring by
tlie day to the pale face, pioneers of
that section, the savage instinct was
still dominant in their breasts; and it
was quite common for them to com
mit depredations against the settfore,
whom they held in the greatest ha
tred. But their raids were generally
confined to remote sections, as North
Georgia was then ^ getting most too
thickly settled tor a field of action. *
This romantic coitntry id rich In'
thrilling adventures', and to-day you
find many old people who lived here
with the Indians and can point otit
the scenes of enough bloody deeds to
stock'a blUe^-back library. And theft!
Is no doubt, Either, about the truth of
these adventures, for as we before
said the parties who witnessed them
are now alive, and with a view of pre
serving the rude history |of their aeo-
tion have marked these spots so that
In after years they can be pointed out
to the curious.
At the time of which we write a
farmer named Vandiver, (who, by tbe
way, only died a year or so ago), had
a huge clearing near the Calls and was
the most prosperous planter in that
section. Labor being scarce, he em
ployed a number of Indians to do his
work, and they proved very successful
hands. About the time our story
opens a stalwart young buck, bring
ing with him a beautiful white wo*
man, appeared and asked for work.
The woman seemed to live In constant
fear of her companion, and positively
refosed to divulge her story, simply
saying that the man was her husband,
and she did not wish to leave him. It
was in those days not an uncommon
tiling to see a white man married to a
squaw and even Indians with white
wives. There was not much law, and
it was the general rule for every man
to attend to his own business and let
his neighbor's alone. So Mr. Vandi
ver, being at that time in pressing
need ot hands, hired the mau and wo
man without question; but the former
proved a thriftless vagabond, who
spent more time in the woods than bn
the farm. He seemed to live in con
stant dread of an attack, and always
weut armed. At the slightest noise
hp,would look frightened around, his
hand grasping the gun upon his shoul
ders. The ill-mated couple continued
to hang around the farm for a week
or so, the man shamefully abusing
the woman, who accepted it with the
greatest meekness. The Indian was
evidently a brute, and the woman his
helpless slave.
But one day a strange white man,
armed to the teeth as it were, rode up
.to Vandiver’s and inquired if he bad
seen an Indian and a white woman
pass that way, describing the strange
couple. He was informed that they
had not more titan an hour ago walk
ed out together, going in the direction
of Tallulah Falls. Without deigning
a single word of reply the stranger
started in tbe direction designated,
going at a swinging trot. Expecting

When we think.of the many grand

and the waterproof with a cement which
